Is this bag waterproof? Or at least water resistant?

I wouldn't say water proof, it's proved rather durable and water resistant to walking through the rain. I've had it in some down poor's and the items inside stayed dry. Just be sure and dry it out thoroughly before putting it away.

I would not consider this bag waterproof in any way..the divider has a "plastic" coating on the outside but is very on the top, the rest of the liner has a soft plushlike finish. I have never gotten this wet so have no idea of the outside. However I love the bag..while traveling in Europe last year I used the outside pocket for items that would normally be in my handbag (wallet in pants pocket)..it is very roomy... I have put my ipad between the liner and the back of the bag.. I carry one extra lens, mini tripod, extra battery...and whatever else gets shoved in...

Short answer, No. The bag is not water resistant nor does it have a spot for holding water bottles. This bag is a last resort for those of us on a very very tight budget. If you can afford a better option, buy it. I couldn't but wish I could have.

It is not waterproof. I was in a downpour without a cover once. It held out for a bit but started getting wet inside. Buy a cover. Other than that the bag has held up for a couple of years and is holding up great.

Based on my quick test, this bag is only water resistant. I put my hand in one of the pockets and poured water over the bag. After a while the water seemed to seep through, although my hand never got wet I did feel moisture.

The outside is canvas so it is water repellent to a point. The inside liner is nylon on the outside and a soft clothe on the inside. Throwing it in a lake or being stuck outside more than 10 minutes in a down pour could allow water in. I never trust anything that says water proof so I always bring individual plastic bags for camera, lens etc. if there is any chance of moisture. It also helps to bring a small soft towel. Have not been in any rain or water rides with this.Still, for the price it is an awesome bag.

The material is similar to backpacks and briefcases. I would guess it's water resistant, but not waterproof.

I have not gotten it wet but the battery is in the center of the bag so it would have to get totally soaked to reach it! I wouldn't say it's waterproof. More a work bag then a backpacking bag.

I haven't tested whether any of the fabric is waterproof. The laptop compartment is made of the same outer material as the rest of the bag - if that helps.

The bottom of the bag is because it is made out of solid rubber, but the bag itself is not. It will repel some light precipitation for a while (light rain, fog, drizzle,etc), but a soaking rain shower would probably get into it. So if you are looking for a fully waterproof bag, this isn't it. But it gives you some protection.

Gloria, i didint much care for this bag and did not get to use it in the rain before passing it along. Just didint care for it, but i dont think this bag is water proof and i wouldint trust it to be.

No, it does not appear to be water resistant. I would put it in a zip-lock bag for extra protection if you plan on traveling in a wet area.

I am not sure about this, but I think it isn´t water-resistant. Nonetheless it is a very good backpack! I love mine..

I agree with Mystri and Buckwheat. The zippers don't appear to be water proof, so water will get in if the bag is subjected to heavy rainfall or a deluge of some sort. Ordinary rain or drizzle should be no problem though.

I don't believe its waterproof....maybe a bit water resistant and it has side zipper pouches that can hold a few water bottles.

No, the bag is not fully waterproof. It is also not at all dustproof, and not very protective of your equipment. It holds a lot and is comfortable and easy to organize, but is not really the best for equipment that is going to be in very wet or dusty conditions.

Well Jack this bag is water proof. How ever I haven't fully tested that ability. For when I'm out day hicking and it rains I and my gear are under a rain poncho. Also just because a product say waterproof doesn't mean it stays that way forever.Take care of your gear and it will take care of you
